I avoid watching Bulgarian movies but something about this one just lured me in. There's one simple word to describe it with: Masterpiece!
There's great story line marked by drama and thrilling moments. It's shows the evolution of the broken human soul in a perfect way. It definitely makes one think and draw conclusions for oneself.
And don't get me started on the cast... definitely a perfect casting choice involving some of the household names in the Bulgarian cinema. Special kudos to Sano, Vergov and Zombory.
I'm super sceptical when it comes to Bulgarian movies but this one shows great talent and hard work. I enjoyed it very much. I see the Bulgarian productions differently now and I will be definitely more open to give them a chance more.
I absolutely loved it!

There is hope for Bulgarian cinema. The movie was beautifully shot for the most part with some very dramatic scenes. Overall good actor play, the movie would have been a lot, lot better without Bashar Rahal, he delivered a very underwhelming performance that contributed absolutely nothing. Definitely ruined the scenes between him and the prison director as they ere rendered quite shallow.
Definitely the best Bulgarian movie in the last 30 years! Everything made professional and with modern technology. Actors were outstanding. This is a movie i would watch every week. Simple, humane, touching, inspiring... Words are just not enough. Must see even from non-bulgarians.
Hats down to the team, and please bring us some more of the same!

We watched this great movie. After seeing my girl friend crying, I realized that there is a future in Bulgarian cinema! I'm not a film critic, but I can say that I felt every emotion represented by the actors on the big screen! I recommend you go to the cinema and watch this movie!
The plot line is similar to The Green mile movie, but the performance is under this level. And it's not up to the actor's play. It's about the scenario. Could have been more intriguing and a bit faster, because it reminded me of a soap series, especially in the last 40 minutes.
Kind of boring in the end.
